Izzy's POV

"She's the cutest Alex, she really is." I whisper as I put Charlie down in her swing.

"How's everything going between you and Christen." Alex asks and I sigh.

"Well." I say with a smile.

"Oooh spill."

"After nine months from my um miscarriage." I let out a staggered breath. "We're trying for a baby."

"Oh my god that's wonderful! I'm happy for you both, I know it was difficult for you both to even try and think about it. I'm so happy for you two I am."

"Thanks Al. I still remember when she wouldn't even try and touch me. The furthest we had gone was literally like a nice make out and she stopped." I say as I rub Blue's head. "But she's ready. I'm ready."

"I do have to say one thing and you can't hate me for it okay?"

"Oh no. What is it Alex."

"You and me both know she didn't grieve properly. I mean yes she grieved but she went head first back into football. We both know she shouldn't have done that." Alex says and I sigh.

"What was I supposed to do Al? I tried to tell her to take more time off but she was getting frustrated with just staying home. I can't blame her either, with re inc and football it was just getting to her. I tried. She was drowning herself in work."

"At least she's somewhat better then." Alex says and I nod.

"She's a great mom, she changes diapers to let me sleep. Cleans because she obviously can't cook." I say as I jokingly roll my eyes.

"Tell me about it, Tobin can't cook either." Alex says and we both laugh.

"Mommy tired." Asher groans as he walk over towards the couch.

"Yeah tired." Ashton says and I smile.

I pick them up as I let them sit on my lap well one on either leg, their heads against my chest as they rub their eyes.

"This is my life." I whisper as they both drift asleep.

"I just have to say that the post Christen did to reveal you and the kids was absolutely beautiful. All Tobin did was repost my post and captioned it chilling with my family, oh and I guess this is me coming out with her little emoji." Alex says and I snort.

"That's Tobin for you. Hey at least she posted a week later with a picture of you."

"Oh yeah because the caption was so much better." Alex says and I laugh.

"Love rules!" Alex and I both say as we laugh.

"She's something alright." I say.

"Christen's post was really heartwarming." Alex says. "I'm going to read you the caption because it really just made me cry when I saw it."

"It's very sweet."

"If you would've asked me ten years ago if I would get married I'd probably say no. Today I'm showing the world a part of me I've kept hidden. The first picture is a picture of my beautiful wife Isabella on our wedding day, we got married in 2019. The second picture is a picture of my babies. In 2018 my wife gave birth to twin boys named Ashton and Asher. They are my world. Lastly, the third picture. A picture of all four of us plus the dogs. For so long I've kept them hidden as I was afraid from the media and what people would think but also for the sake of the privacy of my family. Be your true self and don't let anyone tell you to be someone you know you aren't. Be proud of who you are and embrace it, something I learned after many years. Some people may not agree with your life but it's your not theirs it's yours and only yours. To my babies and my wife, you are the most important people in my life. To everyone, please don't bombard my family they're all I love. To my lovely wife Isabella, thank you for being my support system and my rock when things get tough and when I can't do it myself. I love you unconditionally. Love always wins. I'm a football player and a ceo but most importantly I'm a mom and a wife. I say this with so much pride, we are the Press family. With love, Christen."
